Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results of two specific gravity 20 °C/20 °C measurements: 1.610 and 1.643, mean 1.626; mean density 1.623 g/mL.

The density of the purified substance was also determined, and the result was 1.635 g/mL at 20 °C.

Description of key information

relative density at 20 °C to water at 4 °C: 1.623 (OECD 109, EU A.3, OPPTS 830.7300)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.632

Additional information

The relative density of the test substance was determined using pycnometer method. The value of 1.635 was obtained for the relative density of the purified grade of the substance.
